RUE had a good day last Thursday, We performed on behalf of St Michaels Hospice at Tesco in Hastings, taking part in a 12hr donation event. Some of us then went on to the SMH shop in Rye to present a cheque for £400 collected during this year at various performances especially for St Michaels Hospice..

Wishing all our friends a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. RUE will not be meeting for the next two weeks, so see you Tuesday 9th January next year same time same place!!

Rue are playing Christmas songs tomorrow from 10:30am at the Sara Lee Trust Christmas Fair at St John the Evangelist, Brittany Road, Saint Leonards-on-sea TN38 0RD. Christmas Decorations and gifts, craft stalls, festive food and drink along with children’s activities and many other attractions are on offer. We also have it on good authority that Father Christmas will be popping in!

A Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all! RUE have had an amazing year, we have met some wonderful new people played at lots of venues, new and old, enjoyed some great Ukulele Festivals and along the way have raised lots of money for Charity, can’t be bad!

Our next meeting at the Queens Head will be Tuesday 3rd of January, and we are looking forward to another fun filled Ukulele year!

A great festive singsong recently with the lovely people of Iden, after their Seniors Christmas dinner. Thanks to their generous donations, we have another £78.85 going into the St Michaels Hospice pot.

And just to keep us on our toes, last Saturday we were asked to play at the Butter Market as part of the Christmas in Rye Celebrations, a good time was had by all!

We dusted off our jingle bells and raided our wardrobes for red things, and got into the mood at The Sara Lee Trust Christmas Fair, held in the beautiful church of St John the Evangelist, St Leonards. This wonderful charity raises funds to help families and people affected by cancer. There was a warm and friendly atmosphere and lots of people, and we were joined for a while by Tony, a uke player visiting from The Isle of Wight. Nice to meet you Tony!

This year’s Christmas Song Book is now uploaded onto the song book page. It is right at the top of the list and downloadable from the green lettered section. There may be some amendments to come though. You can get practicing anyway.
